08/19/1993 767 MEMORANDUM OPINION # 71966, to amend the Court's 1/14/93 opinion as follows: The "Tony G" List is stricken from the record. The Court's discussion of the admissibility of the "Tony G" List is withdrawn. The Court's crediting the "Tony G" List as further evidence that Carson received $5 per container move as his share of the MOTBY kickbacks is withdrawn. The Court's conclusion that Carson received $5 per container move is not affected by this holding. The Court's finding that Carson embezzled his expenses from Local 1588 is withdrawn. The Court's finding that teh false invoices submitted to UTI by B&A Reefer were accounted for on UTI's profit and loss statement for MOTBY as "extra equipment" or "rent" is amended to delete any reference to "rent". The Court has considered the defts' other objections and finds them to be without merit. Nothing in the Opinion issued by the Court today undermines the ultimate conclusion reached by the Court in the Liability Opinion that defts Carson, Gallagher, Lachnicht, and Mangano violated the civil RICO statute by the commission of two predicate acts ( Signed by Judge Leonard B.

Any objection urged by a party on which the Court has not commented has been considered by the Court and rejected summarily as irrelevant or meritless. This opinion marks the end of this civil RICO action w/ regard to defts Donald Carson, Anthony Gallagher, George Lachnicht, and Venero Mangano. The government is to submit to the Court, within seven business days, a proposed judgment setting forth the relief granted to it by the Court ( Signed by Judge Leonard B. Sand ); Copies mailed.
